ABSTRACT

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMH) represents a multicentric recently characterized tumor type, generally presenting in young adults, of postulated vascular origin and intermediate malignancy. This entity tends to arise in the deep-seated dermal-subcutaneous locations, preferentially limited to one anatomic site, and may extend secondary to bone. PMH restricted to the skeletal system is rare. To our knowledge, only 19 cases with description of both histologic and clinical findings have been reported to date. We report the clinicopathological features of a further intraosseous PMH occurring in a 46-year-old woman involving the right patella. Histologic examination showed an infiltrating growth composed of sheets and fascicles of spindled to epithelioid large cells, with ample eosinophilic cytoplasm, large vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli, sometimes resembling rhabdomyoblastic tumor cells, without morphologic signs of vascular differentiation. At immunohistochemical examination, neoplastic cells stained diffusely for AE1/AE3 keratins, vimentin, ERG, FLI-1, INI-1, FOSB with only focal CD31 expression.The morphologic clues leading to the correct diagnosis of intraosseous PMH have been correlated with the data of the literature, and a special emphasis has been given to the differential diagnosis with other neoplasms, particularly epithelioid sarcoma, in order to avoid unnecessary radical surgery and to optimise possible treatment protocols.

ABSTRACT

Personal experience of spontaneous haematoma on the anterior straight muscles of the abdomen over 15 years is reported. True spontaneous haematoma on the anterior straight muscles of the abdomen are extremely rare, even exceptional and must be distinguished from those haematomas, improperly called spontaneous that are, in fact, clearly traumatic in origin. Personal observation suggests that true spontaneous haematoma is the expression of a pathological rupture of the muscle and/or the epigastric blood vessels that in its turn reflects a serious basic pathology.

ABSTRACT

The prophylactic antithrombotic efficacy of a low molecular weight heparin was compared with a traditional unfractionated calcium heparin after orthopaedic surgery in 140 patients. Deep vein thromboses were detected in legs either by Doppler sonography or [125I]fibrinogen uptake tests in five (7.1%) and seven (10%) patients, respectively. The capacity of both drugs to prevent deep vein thrombosis was demonstrated. Compared with the control group, those who used low molecular weight heparin showed a significant increase of activated factor X inhibition and smaller increases in activated partial thromboplastin times. Tolerability of both drugs was good, with a low incidence of local side-effects.
